Volume 3
Chapter 53-Secrets and the Deepest
(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)
Rain and I walk through a starry sky-like space that somewhat resembles a "transparent darkness.
'This way, right?"(Rain)
"Ah, the presence is close."(Yuki)
"Yes, it's close. The same direction as everyone else."(Rain)
The "sea card compass" in her hand, Rain nodded her head.
The direction of the needle should be the "door of the abyss".
'It's the stairs."(Rain)
"Yes, But it's a little ...... weird."(Yuki)
Before I knew it, a staircase appeared in the darkness that looked like a spiral of glass panels.
I went over to the side and peeked down, but I could not see the bottom of the staircase, as it continued into the abyss.
After all, it was probably not an actual staircase.
The boundaries of the world have become blurred, and the "colorless darkness" that is the "tower" invites us into its depths.
We recognize this place as a labyrinth dungeon, so it must be manifested in this way.
"Let's go, Rain."(Yuki)
"Yes."(Rain)
Rain smiles and holds out her hand.
I was a little embarrassed, but it felt natural, so I held her hand.
Holding hands, we take a step toward the stairs.
"It's a strange feeling."(Rain)
"Yes, it's a strange feeling. I'm not sure if it's hard or soft."(Yuki)
We descended the stairs, hand in hand, with a feeling of hardness or softness that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
While going down the stairs, we enjoyed chatting about nothing else.
Most of the time it was about memories, sometimes about the future.
"Hey, Yuki."(Rain)
"What's wrong?"(Yuki)
"I can see it on your face."(Rain)
I was so surprised when she said that that I couldn't help but touch my face and realize ...... that it was Rain's attempt to trick me, but by then it was too late.
I can't believe I can't even fake it at a time like this.
"What are you hiding?"(Rain)
"I can't tell you."(Yuki)
"Not even me?"(Rain)
"Not even you."(Yuki)
I can't tell you so I wanted to keep it a secret so that I wouldn't have to lie.
But either way I couldn't tell Rain or my friends.
I'm sure they would be angry if I told them, and they would probably worry about me after ......, but I have to make this decision on my own.
No, I know.
My arbitrary and preemptive decisions are always my own.
I fully understand that this is something that should be shared in Clover.
However, what I am about to do is terribly dangerous, and I am sure that everyone will oppose it.
Still, I'm sure people will be willing to get involved if " I "do it.
Like that time ......, no, like as always.
So I kept my mouth shut.
I didn't want to get the girls involved.
I love them as much as they love me.
I love them as companions, friends, and more.
That is why I should keep my mouth shut until the very end.
This would be the last time I would be selfish.
"Now, it's just me."(Rain)
"......"(Yuki)
The devil's warm whisper emanated from next to me.
The same thought had been in my mind since a few minutes ago.
—Rain.
A former student, a fellow ...... party member, someone who understands me. My lover.
The woman who should know everything about me.
A person who believes that nothing is hidden, nothing is false, and everything can be shared.
And the important person who can blunt our self-indulgent resolve.
"Look, you've got a troubled look on your face. Did you hide that from me on your adventures?"(Rain)
Rain, with a small giggle, hugs my arm.
"What is it that you can't even tell me?"(Rain)
"I really want to tell you. But then I'd be spoiled again."(Yuki)
"You should be more lenient on yourself. You're afraid, aren't you?"(Rain)
I nodded at Rain's words.
"Yes, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of losing you guys. I'm afraid that I'm going to lose this normal life. I'm afraid that this adventure will be over. I want to be with you all the time, I want to smile all the time. I want to be happy. I'm selfish and scared, and I'm pathetic."(Yuki)
The words flowed out like a dam.
I want you to know what I want.
That I love you all.
That my decision, even if it was a betrayal of you, was a choice of hope.
"All right. Then I won't ask."(Rain)
"Are you sure about that......?"(Yuki)
"You don't want to tell me, do you? Then it's fine."(Rain)
Rain smiled as she slowly walked down the stairs.
She seemed to be satisfied, and her steps seemed somewhat light.
On the other hand, my steps are heavy and I feel like I'm falling with every step I take.
I thought I had thought it over, sorted out my feelings, and still fretted about it,......, and then I made up my mind.
I am now shaken again by her warmth and kindness.
How pathetic.
"I think it's time, don't you?"(Rain)
Rain pointed to the end of the long flight of stairs.
When I looked at the end of the staircase, I saw that the staircase had just a few dozen steps left and I could see the end of the "Colorless Darkness" that I was aiming for.
The scenery was still the same, a transparent darkness with twinkling lights like a starry sky, but there was a group of friends where we were headed.
Marina's armor is a little dirty, but she looks fine.
Silk also looks a little worn out, but she has found us and is waving to us.
Nene is also safe. Thank God, I was worried.
Jamie is sitting down. She looks pale, but I wonder if she is okay.
Nibelung seems to be okay, too. A faint light is emanating from her body, as if she is using her "golden" power.
And my uncle, Saga Ferdio, was standing quietly by her side.
I walk down the stairs and approach everyone.
"Hey guys, thanks for waiting!"(Yuki)
Marina stood up at my words and gave me a dash-hug for the first time in a long time, and I fell to the floor.
TL Note- Damn things feel like coming to a conclusion....sad vibes.
